Nominations open - - Who Do You Consider Is A REAL "Public Servant"? The MPW Award

Through the bickering that passes for politics we may be losing what "public service" is all about.

Who is true to helping the people he or she serves?  Take a moment and brag about tht person and what they do - whether or not you agree with them - that shows they have the spirit and committment to be our Public Servant of the Month.

Each month from your nominations and voting we will select one person who is that "public servant".

To start things off, I nominate Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) for taking principled stnds when there were easier ways out.  I disagree with her on many things, but she can be counted on the support what is right and is a real representative of the folks back home. 

Here you are... your turn...
